What 摒 means
Because Unicode records 摒 as a compatibility form of 摒.
摒 means to remove, drive off, or expel something. Its structure pairs the hand radical, a component that often signals an action, with 屏 as a sound-bearing component.
A Buddhist text uses 摒 in an expression for removing something; a historical text uses it for excluding a territory from a boundary. It is absent from Shuowen, an early Chinese dictionary, and appears in later dictionary tradition.
How do I keep the exact glyph?
Use 摒 followed by UFE00 to preserve this variant through normalization.
The historical source mapping ties FA8F to source form KP1-46F9 and the unified character 摒. Because the two are canonically equivalent, text normalization may replace bare 摒 with 摒 and remove its distinct encoding. The standardized variation sequence 摒 followed by UFE00 preserves the variant when software supports variation selectors.
Technical and archival: it signals exact character-data preservation, not a casual Chinese wording choice.
If you mean the verb, use 摒.
